WONDERFUL ENDURANCE.
An Engineer Runs His Train Though His
Skull Is Split Open,

NEW YORK, August 22d.-The Worlds At
anta special of August Dist says: Andrew ].
Ford is dying from the effects of murderous
blow at the hands of negro assaiant The
scene of the affray near Surrency, little
place IN Appling county Surrency is about ten
miles form the East Tennessee river, and is a
small town which has grown up about Melon
ough x CO. mill.
From the mill to the East Tennessee there is IL
private railroad and Ford is the engineer A
week ago Friday, while running toward the
mill, something was found to be the matter with
the track, and Ford ordered the mill hands
who were on the train out to fix the track. All
obeyed except negro named John Plnkerton,
who absolutely refused. "Al right" said
Ford - then you can't ride on my trafn''
A few minutes later Ford looked up from his
work and saw Pinkerton coming toward him
with an ak in his hands, as if to strike him.
Ford started toward his engine. He was un-
armed, and missing his footing fell on his knees
Just as he did SO Pinkerton rushed up and bur
led the ak in his skull and made his escape
Ford staggered to his feet, and getting on his
engine held his skull together with his left hand
and with his right managed to run his engine to
Surrency. When he got there he became un-
conscious: Physicians did all in their power for
him, but he became worse. Yesterday he was
moved to Atlanta for treatment, and to-day DR..
Howell removed several pieces of the skull.
Ford is unconscious and will probably die be-
fore morning. Ii is said on good authority that
the negro was caught and lynched but the fact
Is kept quiet because there are five times as
many negroes about Surrency as white men.

A BOOM ALL AROUND.
San Francisco Falls into Line with an
Advance in Values.


SAN FRANCISCO, August I'D Especial. /
Within the last 80 days the prices of San Fran
cisco real estate have taken a strong upward
tendency, and the selling figures today are a
full 10 per cent. higher for outlying city prop
erty than they were 4 month ago In several
instances the advance has even been much
greater than this. The rise in prices has not
been the cause of any excitement. 1t has been
so gradual as not to take on" the appearance
of a boom.
The reasons assigned for this seems to be we'll
grounded. The real estate agents say there is
nothing wonderful in it, and for two reasons
first, that all real estate on the San Francisco
peninsula has, since the caving" of the COM
stock mines, been below its par value Sec
ondly, that as the city increases in population
50 also must the peninsula of San Francisco,
like that of New York show marked advance
in real estate values.
A prominent real estate broker said today
that there is nothing surprising in the advance
to any one who has ever studied the limits of
land on the peninsula. Those who could buy
outside lands had not done so when the figures
were much lower than they were even thirty
years ago.
One well-known instance in the city to-day
Will suihce to show ow rapidly these outlying
city lots are jumping in value. Captain Lees OF
the detective force, made up his mind on Satur-
day last 10 sell cluster of lots that he had Iy
ing between the Western Addition and the Cliff
House. He had been offered S25 600 forthem, and
he thought it was good enough price to sell al.
Being, however, a cautious man, he went and
asked the opinion of two real estate agents IA
Iniliar with the lands i'll that locality. One of
them told him that if he would wait till the
Monday following he believed he could find
him purehasera at $4,000. Captain Lees said
very quietly that he would wait. In the mean
time the other real estate agent, knowing the
value of the lots, busted himself in the matter
and on Monday also came to Le es and saio that
If he was willing to sell he had purchaser at a
price above the S25 900 mentioned on Saturday
and Lees told him that he had good reason TO
believe that he could have $4,000 for the lots
before the sun went down, and the result of it
Is that to-day Captain Lees was paid S56 600 for
those outlying lots for which on Saturday he
was ready to accept 81, 900. There are two
other similar instances, but for smaller sums

WASHINGTON, August 22d = Especial Col
onel G. II. MendelI has submitted his aDnual
report on the condition of Fort Winfield Scott
and other defenses at Fort Point san Francisco
for the last fiscal year. The fort is not garri-
soned and no keeper has beenemployed since Au
gust, 1886. There being no funds, tne work as
whole remains in practically the same eondi-
ton es stated III the last report The gun-case-
ments and magazine are in good condition, but
the weather has rusted the embrasnrc irons and
disintegrated the painting and mortar in the
brick work. None of the bui dings, except the
0verseer's quarters, store-house, stable and
wag ,n-house, are worth repairing. The water
supply is entirely cut of, and new pipe and
tank required. The wharf is destroyed.
At Alcatraz Island no construction was
carried on during the year. and no
k-eper employed during the year. The bat
teries, both baroette and caserDaJed, are incom-
plete and 10 construction has been carried on
ior eleven years. The condition Of the arma-
ment CT the battery remains as q. the date oi
the last annual report. The toEpedees remain
